NGD - Santana III - 10 top

Killer! Also that new bridge ... swoon!

but ... what's going on with the floor in your music space? Looks like raw sub-flooring.

My room has been under construction for a while, and all I have left to do is install the hardwoods. But, I decided to use the room before I buy the wood. I opened up the room and put a cathedral ceiling, and added those attic windows. I also added a 150 year old leaded glass window salvaged from a Chicago mansion way high up opposite those three windows. It’s a great space to practice in.

Perfect opportunity to decouple and float your floor!

Great looking room! Are you in the Chicago area?

Room looks fantastic, love the colors!
 
When the room is dark, but the adjacent stairwell light is on, light shines through the leaded glass window and casts a gentle light on the room. Essentially, it’s a six foot long night light.

the difference in your house from the last time I was there is amazing!!!! I dont think you had cabinet doors in the kitchen at the time. I think thats when you started working on the kitchen and doing the floor
 
Thank you, Gio. I have been working on it non stop, room by room, on the weekends. It feels good to finally have something to be proud of. It’s been a long journey and Wendy is tired of living in a construction zone.

I know she is i used to talk to her about it. I’m trying to get my house done but it’s been a slow process.
 
I’ve been playing the Santana tonight and she has some balls. I am loving it.

I usually play Music Man guitars and I forgot how much more fullness the PRS have, if you know what I mean. I’ve been neglecting my other PRS guitars lately, so I forgot. I even pulled out one of my other PRS to see if it was just this Santana, but it had the same power.

This is my usual rig:

Thank you. It should arrive very soon, since we are both in New England.

I’ll install it right away and post pictures.

Love the pink Axis. I had a first year EBMM EVH in the same color. I really miss that guitar. Especially the neck
 
Hello everyone.

I just got this 2002 Santana III - 10 top. I don’t know what PRS calls this color.

My first impression was that it resonates unplugged really well; the last time I felt one where I feel it resonating against my body like this (if that makes any sense) was my first Singlecut with a wide fat neck. It’s like the whole instrument is alive. That was almost 20 years ago. The Santana is pretty heavy at 8.9 pounds. It sounds amazing. These pickups are very good.
Nice one! Yea Santana pups are amazing. They do all kinds of stuff besides Carlos stuff.

Always loved the early EVH, but had to build my own back then...
